Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an automatic control signal transmission system based on a plurality of sub-repeaters, and more particularly to an automatic control signal transmission system based on a plurality of sub-repeaters, which is configured to automatically transmit a signal that controls a light-emitting device to emit light in a predetermined pattern, thereby allowing the light-emitting device to automatically reproduce the transmitted predetermined pattern. [Background technology]

[0002] Light-emitting devices are designed to display various colors in dark spaces and produce spectacular effects, and are used not only as cheering tools in concerts and showcases, but also in nighttime activities and various events such as sporting events, festivals, and parades.

[0003] In recent years, light-emitting devices have gone beyond being simple cheering tools; multiple devices can be combined to form specific letters and shapes, and administrators can control the light-emitting devices that people have, making it possible to create a variety of effects at events.

[0004] However, such lighting devices are currently only used as part of the performance at concert venues, and are difficult to use in situations where the location changes or where a smaller number of people than the concert attendees gather outside due to transmission distance restrictions, location restrictions, and the absence of a supervisor.

[0005] Furthermore, even in situations where control is not required, such as in the production of complex performances, operators are required to perform the production, which results in the waste of human resources.

[0006] Therefore, there is a growing debate about how to expand the scope of applications for performances using light-emitting devices. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0009] The present invention also provides an automatic control signal transmission system based on a plurality of sub-repeaters, which is different from the existing operation system that requires direct control by an operator.

[0010] The present invention also provides an automatic control signal transmission system based on a plurality of sub-repeaters that supports continuous / repeated / periodic event production formats.

[0011] However, the technical problems that the present invention and the embodiments of the present invention aim to solve are not limited to the above-mentioned technical problems, and other technical problems may exist. [Means for solving the problem]

[Effects of the Invention]

[0021] In an embodiment of the present invention, an automatic control signal transmission system based on multiple sub-repeaters transmits command data from a main repeater to control multiple sub-repeaters located at multiple locations. Each sub-repeater then automatically transmits a predetermined control signal based on the command data transmitted to the lighting device within a predetermined distance, thereby eliminating spatial constraints in performances using lighting devices and reducing the time / procedure waste required for setting up to control the lighting devices.

In this case, a plurality of stored libraries can be combined to form one scenario, and a plurality of scenarios can be combined to form one theme.

[0093] In the above description, it has been explained that the terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention performs the functional operations as described above. However, various embodiments are possible, such as at least a portion of the functional operations performed by the terminal 100 being performed by an external device (e.g., a service providing server, etc.), and at least a portion of the functional operations performed by the external device being further performed by the terminal 100 and / or repeater 200.

[0094] Repeater 200 The repeater 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention may be a computing device that receives a control signal from the automatic transmission program 111 that provides a theme rendering service and transmits the received control signal to the light-emitting device 300.

[0095] Specifically, in an embodiment, the repeater 200 can communicate with the communication processor 130 of the terminal 100 via a wired or wireless network to obtain a control signal including at least one library, and transmit the obtained control signal.

[0096] In one embodiment, the repeater 200 may be a device that is installed on a predetermined mobile device and moves along with the mobile device as it moves, transmitting a predetermined control signal to at least one or more light-emitting devices detected within a predetermined range.

[0101] The repeater terminal may also include an LCD display, which may display downloaded information for providing a theme rendering service.

[0102] The distance adjuster may be a switch-type and / or dial-type attenuator. The distance adjuster may also be an external type. The distance adjuster may be capable of adjusting the dial and / or minimum distance. For example, an administrator may adjust the repeater dial in 5 dBm increments based on the distance adjuster. In this case, the administrator may adjust the signal range distance in meters (m). Here, the minimum signal range distance may be 20 m.

[0103] In addition, in an embodiment, the repeater 200 may further include a custom case that can be manufactured according to the installation environment of the client.

[0104] Such a repeater 200 has the advantage that, as long as the repeater is installed in a predetermined location, it can send control signals without the need to individually detect the position of each lighting device, making it possible to easily control multiple lighting devices without the need for individual pairing.

[0105] In addition, in the embodiment, the repeater 200 may transmit a predetermined control signal to at least one light-emitting device detected within a range preset by the setting information.

[0106] In an embodiment, the setting information may include a signal radius, a radio wave direction, and at least one library and / or scenario included in the control signal.

[0118] Specifically, the control signal transmitting unit 210 can transmit a control signal to nearby light emitting devices using a preset broadcasting protocol, and light emitting devices located nearby and set to receive broadcast signals using the preset broadcasting protocol can receive the transmitted control signal and operate according to the received control signal.

[0119] In this case, the preset broadcasting protocol may refer to a frequency band, a control signal encoding / decoding method, etc. The control signal transmitting unit 210 may include a broadcasting transmitter. The broadcasting transmitter may include an exciter including an oscillator and a modulator, and may modulate the control signal received from the terminal 100 into radio waves of a frequency band determined by the preset broadcasting protocol and transmit the RF signal through an antenna.

[0120] By using a broadcasting method, the control signal transmitting unit 210 can overcome the disadvantages of Bluetooth (BLE) technology, such as low transmission speed, short transmission distance, small data capacity transmission, and excessive power consumption, and has the effect of easily controlling multiple light emitting devices, saving the time required for the user to pair the light emitting device control signal repeater 200 with each light emitting device separately, and increasing the speed of data transmission.

[0121] In addition, in an embodiment, the control signal transmitter 210 may continuously transmit a control signal (eg, infinite roofing) that activates a predetermined library when a specific event and / or trigger is acquired.

[0122] In addition, in an embodiment, the control signal transmitter 210 may change the library included in the control signal when a specific event and / or trigger is acquired.

[0123] In addition, in an embodiment, the control signal transmitter 210 may change the library included in the control signal when a specific event and / or trigger is acquired.

[0124] For example, the specific event and / or trigger may include detection of a person's approach based on a predetermined sensor, detection of input from a lighting device, entry into a predetermined section, a preset performance period, etc.

[0125] Meanwhile, the control signal receiving unit 220 can receive control signals from other terminals including the terminal 100 and / or a server.

[0133] That is, the types of inputs to the input system 230 of the repeater 200 may include direct input, wired input, and / or wireless input.

[0134] For example, the input can be performed based on a series of wired and wireless input devices (eg, keyboard, numeric keypad, mouse, remote control, etc.) connected to the USB connection port of the repeater 200.

[0135] In this case, in the case of wired input, control is possible over a long distance depending on the length of the cable, and in the case of wireless input, control can be performed based on IR, RF, NFC, Bluetooth, and / or a remote control linked to the repeater 200. In this case, there should be no obstacles in front of the IR sensor of the repeater 200 and / or the remote control.

[0136] The control unit 240 may include at least one processor capable of executing instructions for transmitting and receiving at least one control signal to perform various operations for generating a themed service environment.

[0137] In an embodiment, the control unit 240 may control the overall operation of the components of the repeater 200 to provide a theme rendering service. In implementing the control unit 240, the above description of the processor assembly 120 of the terminal 100 applies mutatis mutandis.

[0144] The information receiving unit 320 may include a broadcast receiver that receives information transmitted by the repeater 200 and other devices in a broadcasting manner. Specifically, the broadcast receiver may receive radio waves transmitted from the repeater 200 through an antenna, and may obtain a control signal by selecting a control signal from the received radio waves.

The light emitting unit 330 may include LEDs of different colors, for example, at least one of a red LED, a green LED, a blue LED, and a white LED.

[0148] By mixing the light emitted from each of these LEDs, a wide range of hues can be produced, and the mixed color is determined based on the ratio of the light intensity emitted from each LED, which can be proportional to the drive current of each LED.

[0149] The LEDs included in the light emitting unit 330 may be arranged in a dot pattern, and the LEDs may be selectively lit under the control of the processor 390, which will be described later, to display specific text, images, or pictures.

[0150] Although the above description has been given using an LED as an example of the light source of the light emitting unit 330, the type of light source is not limited to an LED. According to another embodiment, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) may be used as the light source.

[0151] The storage unit 340 may store at least one of various application programs, applications, data, and commands for providing a theme rendering service environment.

[0155] In addition, in an embodiment, the storage unit 340 may store information required to perform a theme rendering service.

[0156] The battery 350 can be supplied with external and / or internal power under the control of the processor 390 to supply power necessary for operation to each component of the light emitting device 300 .

[0157] The battery 350 may further include a DC / DC converter that can convert the given power into a voltage level that can be used by the mounting body of the light emitting device 300, etc.

[0158] The battery 350 includes at least one battery cell. The type of each battery cell is not particularly limited as long as it can be repeatedly charged and discharged, such as a lithium-ion cell.

[0159] The charging unit 360 may include wired and wireless charging modules for providing wired and wireless charging processes to supply the power necessary for the operation of the lighting device 300 .

[0160] The sensor unit 370 may include at least one sensor selected from the group consisting of a position sensor (IMU), an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, a distance sensor, a proximity sensor, a contact sensor, and an illuminance sensor.

[0161] Specifically, the position sensor (IMU) included in the sensor unit 370 can sense at least one of the movement and acceleration of the light emitting device 300. For example, the position sensor (IMU) may be a combination of various position sensors such as an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a magnetometer.

[0162] The input unit 380 can sense user input (eg, gestures, button activations, or other types of input) related to the theme rendering service.

[0163] Specifically, the input unit 380 may include a predetermined button and / or a touch sensor.

[0164] The input unit 380 may be connected to an external controller to receive user input.

[0165] The processor 390 controls the overall operation of the lighting device 300, such as power supply control, and the signal flow between internal components of the lighting device 300, and may perform a data processing function for processing data. Such a processor 390 may include at least one processor.

[0166] Furthermore, the processor 390 can communicate with each component internally via a system bus, which can include one or more predetermined bus structures such as a local bus.

[0167] Additionally, processor 390 may be implemented with at least one of application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), digital signal processors (DSPs), digital signal processing devices (DSPDs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), controllers, microcontrollers, microprocessors, and other electrical units for performing functions.

[0168] In the embodiment, the processor 390 can control the light emission pattern of the light output from the light emitting unit 330 by controlling the drive current of each LED of the light emitting unit 330 .

[0169] Through this, in the embodiment, the processor 390 can control the light emitting device 300 including a plurality of LEDs to generate predetermined words, images, pictures, and the like.

[0170] The light emitting device 300 including the above-described configuration can be operated according to at least one piece of data stored in the storage unit 340 under the control of the processor 390 .

[0171] As a result, the automatic transmission system provides spectators with light-emitting devices 300, and when the spectators watch an event (e.g., a parade, a marching band, an opening ceremony, etc.) in a specified area while holding the provided light-emitting devices 300, a themed performance service can be provided in which an event-like performance is performed in which the light-emitting pattern changes as a mobile device equipped with a repeater approaches the area.

[0172] In addition, in the embodiment, the light emitting device 300 may emit light in response to a control signal received from the repeater 200 based on the light emitting unit 330 .

[0173] In this case, the control signal may include instruction data for activating the lighting device 300 to emit light in accordance with a library and / or scenario pre-stored in the lighting device 300 .

[0174] In addition, in the embodiment, the light emitting device 300 can sense the movement and acceleration of the light emitting device 300 based on the sensor unit 370 .

[0175] In addition, in the embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can recognize surrounding sounds based on the sensor unit 370 and control the light emission to match the recognized sound. For example, the louder the recognized sound, the brighter the light emission can be.

[0176] In addition, in the embodiment, the light emitting device 300 may transmit data sensed by the sensor unit 370 and / or the input unit to another device (for example, the terminal 100 and / or the repeater 200).

[0177] In some embodiments, the light emitting device 300 may operate passively in response to an externally transmitted command signal (control signal). In other embodiments, the light emitting device 300 may operate autonomously based on an input unit 380 (e.g., a predetermined button).

[0178] The concept of the operation can be various and is not limited to any one concept, and various types of operation are possible depending on the type of lighting device 300 (e.g., a lighting stick and / or a wearable device), such as a light-emitting operation, a sound-generating operation, or a mechanical operation.

[0179] A method for automatically transmitting control signals based on multiple sub-repeaters Hereinafter, a method for automatically transmitting control signals based on a plurality of sub-repeaters in order to provide a theme rendering service by the control unit 240 executed by at least one processor of the repeater 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying Figures 5 to 10.

[0180] Meanwhile, in order for the repeater 200 to perform a method of automatically transmitting control signals based on a plurality of sub-repeaters based on the control unit 240, in an embodiment of the present invention, at least one processor of the terminal 100 can execute at least one automatic transmission program 111 stored in at least one memory 110 or operate in background mode.

[0181] Hereinafter, it will be briefly described that the automatic transmission program 111 operates to cause at least one processor of the terminal 100 to operate to execute the command words of the memory 110 and to support the repeater 200 to perform the method of automatically transmitting control signals based on a plurality of sub-repeaters.

[0182] In addition, at least one processor of the repeater 200 operates to execute the command of the control unit 240, and the method of automatically transmitting control signals based on the above-mentioned multiple sub-repeaters is briefly described as being performed by the control unit 240.

[0183] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for automatically transmitting a control signal based on a plurality of sub-repeaters according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0184] As shown in Figure 5, in this embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 can generate and store a scenario based on the library setting interface (S101).

[0185] The library setting interface according to the embodiment may be an interface that provides a library that defines the light-emitting modes in which the light-emitting device 300 operates and / or a production environment for generating a scenario that combines a plurality of the libraries.

[0186] That is, in an embodiment, the auto-submission program 111 can generate a library based on the library setting interface.

[0187] Here, the library according to the embodiment may be data that pre-sets a light-emitting pattern that causes the light-emitting device 300 to emit light for a predetermined period of time.

[0188] In addition, the lighting pattern refers to the lighting form in which the lighting device 300 operates, depending on components including lighting mode (e.g., On mode, Off mode, and sound recognition mode), lighting hue, lighting time, lighting brightness, and lighting effect.

[0189] In this case, the lighting effect may refer to a lighting form in which the components are set to change within a predetermined time period to generate a dynamic visual effect.

[0190] FIG. 6 is an example of a diagram for explaining a library and a scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0191] As shown in FIG. 6, in an embodiment, a scenario SCE may include at least one or more libraries LB1, LB2, and LB3.

[0192] The scenario SCE can mean a set of a plurality of libraries LB, each having a preset light emission pattern, combined in a predetermined order.

[0193] Specifically, the scenario SCE may refer to library collection data that is set with an order and a maintenance time for a plurality of libraries LB and is played while the library LB is located within a signal radius where a control signal is received. Such a scenario may include a predetermined identification number.

[0194] Furthermore, one library can include a library name 400 and first to fourth setting values 411, 412, 413, and 414, which are the component setting values of each light emission pattern (hereinafter referred to as light emission pattern setting values).

[0195] The library name 400 may include at least one of a predetermined identification number and / or text.

[0196] The first setting value 411 can be data for the light emitting hue, the second setting value 412 can be data for the light emitting time, the third setting value 413 can be data for the light emitting brightness, and the fourth setting value 414 can be data for the light emitting effect.

[0197] Here, a lighting pattern maintained for a predetermined time according to the second setting value 412, which is data for the lighting time, can be referred to as a "part 410." That is, one library can include at least one or more parts. Typically, a predetermined part can be repeatedly played within the library.

[0198] The light emitting pattern setting value may be data that expresses, as values or text, all the hues, times, brightnesses, and effects that the light emitting device can achieve.

[0199] For example, the first setting value 411 can be set to a hexadecimal code (RGB565 notation) representing an RGB hue, the second setting value 412 can be set to a value representing a duration in seconds, the third setting value 413 can be set to a brightness value between 0 and 100, with higher values being brighter, and the fourth setting value 414 can be set to text representing a predetermined effect.

[0200] Specifically, the first setting value 411 allows the light emitting device to emit light in 65,535 or more hues.

[0201] For example, the first setting value 411 representing the luminous hue can be expressed as values of (0,0,0), (0,0,1), (0,0,2), (n,n,n) in RGB565 notation. Also, the third setting value 413 representing the luminous brightness can be expressed as values of 0,1,2,n, which increase as the brightness increases.

[0202] In addition, the fourth setting value 414 may include 1) a blink effect in which the light-emitting device is set to light up or down differently depending on the time period within a predetermined time, causing the light-emitting device to blink quickly; 2) a gradation effect in which the hue is set to light up or down differently depending on the time period within a predetermined time, causing the light-emitting device to gradually change hue; and 3) a fade in / out effect in which the brightness is set to light up or down gradually depending on the time period.

[0203] 6, for example, the first library LB1 may include a library name 400 with an identification number of "00" and the text "Stand." The first library LB1 may include a first part 410 having first through fourth setting values 411, 412, 413, and 414, each of which is defined as "fading in and out in white for three seconds and not emitting light for two seconds." The first part 410 may also be repeatedly played within the first library LB1.

[0204] That is, in the embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 can generate and store libraries by determining at least one or more lighting pattern setting values included in each library based on the library setting interface.

[0205] In addition, in the embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 can combine at least one library created based on the library setting interface to create and store a scenario.

[0206] In the embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 stores a library and / or a scenario generated directly based on the automatic sending program 111, or can acquire and store a library and / or a scenario generated by an external terminal and / or server. The object transmitted to the repeater and the light-emitting device may be a library and / or a scenario, but will be referred to as a library hereinafter for convenience of explanation.

[0207] A scenario including at least one of the libraries LB1, LB2, and LB3 stored in this manner may correspond to, for example, a course (e.g., a parade course) consisting of a plurality of divided spaces (hereinafter, sections). Each of the plurality of sections included in the course may correspond to a library. That is, while spectators are participating in an event in a predetermined area included in the course, the lighting device 300 may change its lighting pattern and operate based on the acquired control signal.

[0208] A control signal according to an embodiment may then include instruction data for activating (eg, executing, pausing, terminating) the lighting device 300 via such a library.

[0209] For this purpose, the lighting device 300 has a library and / or a scenario pre-stored therein, and the lighting device 300 according to the embodiment can execute, repeat, interrupt, and terminate the pre-stored library and / or scenario in response to the acquired control signal.

[0210] In addition, in the embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 can generate travel route data that matches the generated scenario (S103).

[0211] Here, the travel route data according to the embodiment may be data set so that a mobile device equipped with a repeater moves along a course including multiple areas, thereby sending control signals that activate different libraries in each area.

[0212] Such travel route data may include a scenario including at least one or more libraries, at least one or more regions (spaces) matched with each library, and / or travel time information.

[0213] For this purpose, in an embodiment, the automatic transmission program 111 may acquire map data for a course actually taken by a mobile device equipped with a repeater, where the map data may include a map image and / or a map interface that visualizes the course taken by the mobile device.

[0214] FIG. 7 is an example of a diagram for explaining travel route data according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0215] As shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 can acquire a first scenario SCE-1 in which at least one or more libraries LB1, LB2, and LB3 are arranged in a predetermined order.

[0216] In addition, in the embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 can set at least one or more divided areas M1, M2, M3 in the map data MAP based on a predetermined input, each of which sends a different library.

[0217] For example, the administrator can set an area by inputting a drag and drop operation on the map data MAP. That is, in the embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 can obtain map data MAP for a course including multiple areas.

[0218] At this time, in the embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 can match each of the regions M1, M2, and M3 in order with at least one or more libraries LB1, LB2, and LB3 included in the first scenario SCE-1.

[0219] As an illustrated example, a first region M1 can be matched with a first library LB1, a second region M2 with a second library LB2, and a third region M3 with a third library LB3.

[0220] In addition, in the embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 can store the area in the travel route data once matching of each of the libraries included in the scenario is completed.

[0221] As a result, in an embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 can generate travel route data 20 that is set to send a control signal including command data to activate a library matched to a specified area when the mobile device is located in that area on the course.

[0222] Here, the mobile device according to the embodiment may include a GPS to determine in which area on the course the mobile device is located.

[0223] The GPS installed in the mobile device can transmit location information to the terminal 100 in real time, and the terminal 100 can detect the area to which the mobile device belongs based on the transmitted location information, and can be configured to have the repeater 200 automatically send a control signal to activate the library matched to that area.

[0224] The position information L can also be displayed in real time on map data MAP.

[0225] That is, in the embodiment, the travel path data may refer to data in which the area is matched to each library included in the scenario.

[0226] In another embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 can measure the time required to pass through each area in advance and set the required time for each area in advance, and then send a control signal to activate the library for the required time set in advance for each area.

[0227] For example, first required time information T1 may be set in the first library LB1, second required time information T2 may be set in the second library LB2, and third required time information T3 may be set in the third library LB3.

[0228] That is, in another embodiment, the travel route data may refer to data in which required time information is set for each library included in the scenario.

[0229] In addition, in the embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 can transmit the generated travel path data to the repeater 200 and the light-emitting device 300 (S105).

[0230] Specifically, in the embodiment, the automatic sending program 111 transmits the generated travel route data to the repeater 200 , and the scenario included in the generated travel route data can be transmitted to the lighting device 300 .

[0231] To this end, in an embodiment, the auto-send program 111 may store travel path data including the created library on an SD card and / or a portable drive.

[0232] Thus, in an embodiment, the administrator can connect the SD card and / or portable drive to the repeater 200 and transmit and store the travel path data in the repeater 200. In addition, the administrator can link the terminal 100 and the light emitting device 300 to transmit and store the library in multiple light emitting devices 300.

[0233] At this time, the scenario identification number and at least one library name included in the scenario may be displayed on the LCD window of the repeater according to the embodiment.

[0234] Furthermore, by linking the terminal 100 and the light emitting device 300, the library can be transmitted to and stored in a plurality of light emitting devices 300 as well.

[0235] In this case, the light emitting device 300 according to the embodiment may pre-store a process for increasing the brightness of the library being played by a predetermined ratio when the ambient illuminance falls below a preset reference value based on the illuminance detection sensor.

[0236] In addition, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 of the repeater 200 may generate setting information based on the transmitted travel path data (S107).

[0237] In an embodiment, the setting information may include a signal radius, a radio wave direction, and a playback mode.

[0238] The signal radius may refer to the range of a control signal. The radio wave direction may refer to the radio wave direction of a directional antenna, which has the property that the strength of electromagnetic waves varies depending on the direction. The play mode sets the play method of the library to be played, and may be at least one of play once, play continuously, and play repeatedly.

[0239] In this case, since the repeater 200 is disposed in a mobile device, the signal radius does not change, but as the repeater 200 moves with the mobile device, the terminal devices located within the signal radius may change.

[0240] That is, in an embodiment, the control unit 240 may generate setting information that sets the signal radius, radio wave direction, and / or playback mode for sending a control signal based on the scenario included in the transmitted travel path data.

[0241] For example, the signal radius can be set in meters (m), such as 25 m, and the radio wave direction can be set to the same as the course movement direction of the mobile device.

[0242] According to the embodiment, the administrator can check the information displayed on the LCD window of the repeater 200 and input the generated setting information by operating the repeater 200 using the input system 230. For example, the administrator can input information using the controller, buttons, etc. of the repeater 200 to determine the signal radius, playback mode, etc.

[0243] On the other hand, multiple repeaters 200 may be installed in one mobile device.

[0244] Thus, the light-emitting device 300 located within a first signal radius set in a first repeater disposed on a first mobile device can emit light in response to the library activation command data included in the control signal transmitted by the first repeater in that area, and the light-emitting device 300 located within a second signal radius set in a second repeater disposed on a first mobile device can emit light in response to the library activation command data included in the control signal transmitted by the second repeater in that area.

[0245] That is, even if the lighting device 300 is adjacent to the first mobile device, the library that is activated may differ depending on which of the first and second repeaters the lighting device 300 is adjacent to.

[0246] Once the setting information input for each repeater is completed, the administrator according to the embodiment can place each repeater on a mobile device and control the mobile device to move along the course.

[0247] FIG. 8 is an example of a diagram illustrating how a mobile device equipped with a repeater according to an embodiment of the present invention moves along a course.

[0248] As shown in FIG. 8, first to third mobile devices 511, 512, and 513 according to the embodiment may be provided with first to third repeaters 501, 502, and 503, respectively.

[0249] In this case, a predetermined event group 1 may exist within the course C where the first to third mobile devices 511, 512, and 513 are located, and at a predetermined distance therefrom, there may exist an audience group 2 that is affected by the first to third repeaters 501, 502, and 503 installed on the first to third mobile devices 511, 512, and 513. In this case, each of the audience members included in the audience group 2 may carry a lighting device 300 that has been provided in advance.

[0250] In the embodiment, the control unit 240 may set the first repeater 501 to transmit a control signal for a first signal radius 521 based on the setting information, the second repeater 502 to transmit a control signal for a second signal radius 522, and the third repeater 503 to transmit a control signal for a third signal radius 523. In addition, the signal radii may be different for each repeater according to different setting information.

[0251] At this time, the plurality of light emitting devices 300 carried by the visitors located within the first signal radius 521 can be operated in response to the control signal from the first repeater 501 .

[0252] In addition, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 can automatically send a control signal including a library based on the setting information (S109).

[0253] Specifically, in an embodiment, the control unit 240 may automatically transmit a control signal including a library to at least one light emitting device 300 located within a signal radius according to the signal radius included in the setting information. In this case, in an embodiment, the control unit 240 may transmit the control signal in a broadcasting manner.

[0254] In this embodiment, once the administrator has completed the installation of the repeaters for each mobile device, the administrator can start automatic transmission of the control signal by performing a predetermined input using the input system 230 of each repeater 200.

[0255] 8, as the first to third mobile devices 511, 512, and 513 move, the area to which each mobile device belongs changes. Taking the illustrated example, when the first mobile device 511 is in a first area 601, the first mobile device 511 can send a control signal to activate a first library matched to the first area 601 via a first repeater 511 provided in the first mobile device 511.

[0256] Then, when the first mobile device 511 moves to the second area 602, a control signal can be sent to the first repeater 511 installed on the first mobile device 511 to activate the second library matched to the second area 602.

[0257] Thus, in an embodiment, the control unit 240 can send a library that matches each area that changes as the device moves with it.

[0258] In this case, if the first to third moving devices 501, 502, and 503 move adjacent to each other, their respective signal radii 521, 522, and 523 may overlap, resulting in a light emitting device 300 receiving a plurality of control signals. In this case, the area where the signal radii overlap may be referred to as an overlapping zone OLZ.

[0259] At least one light emitting device 300 located in the overlapping area OLZ can be operated by its own process, which will be described in detail later.

[0260] In addition, in an embodiment, the control unit 240 may group at least one light-emitting device 300 detected within a predetermined time period. For example, the control unit 240 may group a plurality of light-emitting devices 300 included within a signal radius of a first region within three seconds.

[0261] In addition, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 can simultaneously send control signals to a plurality of grouped light emitting devices 300 .

[0262] That is, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 may transmit the control signal to the light emitting devices 300 located within a predetermined radius (S111).

[0263] This allows the lighting device 300, which is set to receive a control signal of a preset broadcasting protocol, to receive the transmitted control signal.

[0264] In addition, in the embodiment, the light emitting device 300 may emit light in response to the transmitted control signal (S113).

[0265] Specifically, in the embodiment, the lighting device 300 may emit light by operating a library in response to a control signal including a control instruction for activating a pre-stored library.

[0266] Here, if the light emitting devices 300 are grouped, the grouped light emitting devices 300 can emit light simultaneously in response to control signals transmitted simultaneously.

[0267] Meanwhile, in the embodiment, when the light emitting device 300 enters the overlapping area, it can emit light by its own process based on the library that was being played.

[0268] 9 and 10 are examples of diagrams illustrating the light emitting process in the overlapping area of the light emitting device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0269] As shown in FIG. 9, in an embodiment, the light-emitting device 300 can operate in a first library in a first region 601 affected by the signal radius of a first repeater 501, and in a second library in a second region 602 affected by the signal radius of a second repeater 502.

[0270] However, if the second moving device 512 having the second repeater installed thereon is adjacent to the first moving device 511 having the first repeater 501 installed thereon, forming an overlapping area OLZ, signals may not be transmitted smoothly to the light emitting device 300 located in the overlapping area OLZ, or signal collision may occur, resulting in incorrect light emission.

[0271] Thus, in the embodiment, the light emitting device 300 can perform its own process when it is determined that it has entered the overlapping area OLZ.

[0272] As shown in FIG. 10, the self-process may refer to a process of adjusting the lighting pattern setting value of the first library that was previously reproduced according to a previously transmitted control signal and maintaining it for a predetermined period of time.

[0273] For example, the light emitting device 300 may be activated by a first library LB1 with a control signal in a first signal radius 521 and included in the overlap area OLZ with a control signal in a second signal radius 522 .

[0274] At this time, if the light-emitting device 300 determines that it has entered the overlapping area OLZ, it can terminate the activation command of the first library LB1 that was activated by the first signal radius 521 and start its own process to emit light.

[0275] Here, the adjusted light emitting pattern setting value may be at least one of the first to fourth setting values. For example, the light emitting device 300 may adjust the second setting value (e.g., a light emitting time value) by a predetermined ratio to adjust the light emitting device 300 to emit light at a slower speed than the existing library, or adjust the third setting value (e.g., a brightness value) by a predetermined ratio to lower the brightness than the existing library.

[0276] That is, in the overlapping area OLZ, it is possible to reproduce the first modified library LB1-M, which is obtained by changing the light emission pattern setting values of the first library, which is an existing library, in a predetermined manner.

[0277] To this end, in the embodiment, the light emitting device 300 may store a lighting pattern setting value set in a previous library, and if a plurality of control signals are acquired, the light emitting device 300 may emit light according to the lighting pattern setting value of the stored previous library.

[0278] In addition, in the embodiment, while the light emitting device 300 is operating with the first variation library LB1-M by its own process, the light emitting device 300 may enter the second signal radius 522 to acquire a control signal for activating the second library of the second signal radius 522. Alternatively, the light emitting device 300 may determine to enter the control signal acquisition mode again after a predetermined time period to acquire a new control signal.

[0279] At this time, the light-emitting device 300 determines that it has moved out of the overlapping area OLZ, and terminates the process of operating the first variant library LB1-M that was operating with the second signal radius 522, and can activate the second library LB2.

[0280] In another embodiment, when the light emitting device 300 is located in the overlapping area OLZ, it can emit light based on a control signal having a stronger signal strength among the plurality of control signals it receives.

[0281] As a result, in an event that moves along a course including multiple areas, the positions of different repeaters are adjacent to each other, which reduces errors that may occur in lighting devices, such as light failure, light switching, and interruptions, thereby providing a smooth performance for spectators and increasing the satisfaction of the event experience.

[0282] Meanwhile, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 can change the library sent in the control signal according to a predetermined input.

[0283] In this case, the predetermined input for changing the library may include 1) when the repeater 200 is located in a predetermined specific area, 2) when a predetermined specific time is sensed, or 3) when an input from a predetermined specific light-emitting device 300 is sensed.

[0284] In the case of 3), for example, if the control unit 240 detects an input from a preset first light-emitting device while transmitting a control signal for causing light to be emitted from the first library to an unspecified number of light-emitting devices, the control unit 240 can change the transmitted first library to a second library and transmit the second library. To this end, the control unit 240 can store in advance command data for switching to the second library when an input from the first light-emitting device is detected.

[0285] In addition, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 may detect a predetermined input for switching to the event mode while transmitting a control signal according to the travel path data.

[0286] In the embodiment, if the control unit 240 detects an input to switch to the event mode, it may send a control signal to operate the corresponding mode using a preset event library.

[0287] As a result, the light emitting device 300 located within a predetermined distance from the repeater 200 can emit light according to the event library preset in the event mode, rather than the previously transmitted library.

[0288] In an embodiment, the lighting device 300 may be activated by a specific lighting effect when a predetermined input is applied to the lighting device 300 while the lighting device 300 is emitting light according to an event library.

[0289] For example, various embodiments may exist in which the light-emitting device emits light with a sparkle effect when shaken, or emits light with a laser effect when a predetermined button included in the light-emitting device is pressed.

[0290] In addition, in an embodiment, the control unit 240 may record the time when the input for switching to the event mode is detected as a history, and may also record the time when the event mode is released.

[0291] Accordingly, in the embodiment, the control unit 240 can store the event mode time including the event start time and the event end time.

[0292] The event mode time stored in this manner can be reflected in the travel path data pre-stored in the repeater 200.

[0293] Then, in an embodiment, the control unit 240 may change the moving path data reflecting the event mode time point into history data and store the history data.

[0294] The stored history data can be reused later. That is, in an embodiment, the control unit 240 may switch to the event mode at the stored event mode point while operating according to the travel path data included in the history data, and control the repeater 200 to send the event library.

[0295] As a result, when a specific event is added to existing travel route data and the mode of a lighting device or the like needs to be changed, history data can be easily generated by operating the repeater without the need to generate and store new travel route data, and since this history data can be reused, the time required for data generation and downloading is dramatically reduced, and it is possible to flexibly deal with situations where an event is suddenly added.

[0296] Meanwhile, in another embodiment, the repeater 200 in the theme production service providing system can be divided into a main repeater 200-M that communicates with the terminal 100 via a wired or wireless network and a sub repeater 200-S that receives command data from the main repeater 200-M via a wired or wireless network and operates accordingly.

[0297] In another embodiment, the main repeater 200-M may be a predetermined computing device on which the automatic transmission program 111 is installed.

[0298] In another embodiment, the main repeater 200-M can assign a serial number to each sub-repeater 200-S, or can obtain a repeater serial number stored in advance in each sub-repeater 200-S via a network.

[0299] In another embodiment, there may be a plurality of sub-repeaters 200-S, which may be operated according to command data received from the main repeater 200-M.

[0300] The main repeater 200-M and / or the sub repeater 200-S may be arranged in an environment where communication is possible via a wired or wireless network, and the type of location where the main repeater 200-M and / or the sub repeater 200-S are arranged is not limited. Specifically, the main repeater 200-M and / or the sub repeater 200-S may be fixed and / or mobile.

[0301] In this case, in another embodiment, the sub-repeater 200-S can store in advance a library generated by the automatic transmission program 111 of the terminal 100.

[0302] In another embodiment, the library may refer to a single unit in which a lighting pattern setting value is preset to emit light in a predetermined lighting pattern, as shown in Fig. 6. A plurality of such libraries may be combined into a larger unit, a scenario. In another embodiment, the sub-repeater 200-S may pre-store a plurality of libraries, not scenarios. In another embodiment, the sub-repeater 200-S may send a control signal to activate a library that has been instructed to be sent from the main repeater 200-M among the plurality of pre-stored libraries.

[0303] In another embodiment, the main repeater 200-M may be connected to a plurality of sub-repeaters 200-S and terminals 100, each of which has a plurality of libraries pre-stored therein.

[0304] In this case, in another embodiment, the main repeater 200-M can obtain a sub-repeater serial number from the sub-repeater 200-S and obtain a library serial number matched to multiple libraries from the terminal 100.

[0305] In another embodiment, the main repeater 200-M may transmit command data to at least one of a plurality of sub repeaters 200-S connected via a network.

[0306] Here, the command data according to another embodiment may include a sub-repeater serial number, a library serial number, and / or setting information. The setting information may indicate the signal radius and / or radio wave direction of a control signal transmitted by the sub-repeater 200-S receiving the command data.

[0307] For example, the main repeater 200-M can transmit command data to the first sub-repeater, such as "change the library to be sent to the second library," based on the serial number of the first sub-repeater.

[0308] In the above example, it is described that one command data is sent to one sub-repeater, but one command data can be sent to multiple sub-repeaters, and the multiple sub-repeaters can then send control signals including the library included in the acquired command data. In other words, the main repeater can control several sub-repeaters with one command.

[0309] Thus, in another embodiment, the sub-repeater 200-S that receives command data from the main repeater 200-M can change the library included in the control signal sent according to the transmitted command data.

[0310] In another embodiment, the main repeater 200-M can acquire a scenario from the linked terminal 100. In this case, the scenario can refer to predetermined aggregate data in which a library playback order is preset for at least one or more sub-repeaters.

[0311] In another embodiment, the main repeater 200-M can monitor in real time the library sent by at least one or more sub-repeaters 200-S in the form of control signals based on the acquired scenario.

[0312] At this time, in another embodiment, the main repeater 200-M can detect the sub-repeater 200-S that transmits a library that does not match the scenario acquired during the monitoring.

[0313] In another embodiment, the main repeater 200-M can adjust the control signal being sent to the detected sub-repeater 200-S so that the detected sub-repeater 200-S sends a library that matches the library included in the scenario (i.e., a normal library).

[0314] In other embodiments, the service providing system eliminates the hassle of having to manually set the signal radius and sending library for each repeater individually, and has the effect of solving the disadvantage that real-time correction is not possible for repeaters that operate according to pre-stored manual settings, making it impossible to deal with issues in real time when they occur.

[0315] In other words, in another embodiment, the service providing system determines the repeater to be controlled based on the serial number of the sub-repeater 200-S, and controls the sub-repeater 200-S by sending command data that sets the library to be sent from the sub-repeater 200-S.This allows the sub-repeater 200-S to store only the library in advance and then change it to the library obtained by the command data and send it out, thereby securing memory space in the sub-repeater 200-S, dramatically reducing the amount of data sent and received, and resulting in a significant increase in the efficiency of service provision when viewed from the perspective of the entire system.

[0316] As described above, the automatic control signal transmission system based on multiple sub-repeaters according to an embodiment of the present invention places repeaters for each of multiple mobile devices, and when a lighting device is detected within a predetermined distance from the repeater, it automatically transmits a signal to control the lighting device according to predetermined set information, thereby eliminating spatial constraints in performances using lighting devices and reducing the time / procedure waste required for setting up to control the lighting device.It can also be used in experiential spaces, etc., to increase audience satisfaction with the event experience.

[0317] In addition, the automatic control signal transmission system based on multiple sub-repeaters according to an embodiment of the present invention breaks away from the existing operating system that requires direct control by an operator, eliminating the need for training on repeater control, and eliminating the need to operate the repeater every time a performance is required, resulting in increased economic efficiency due to reduced human resources.

[0318] In addition, the automatic control signal transmission system based on multiple sub-repeaters according to an embodiment of the present invention supports continuous / repeated / periodic event production formats, thereby having the effect of easily providing new experiences to multiple people experiencing an experiential space without having to design complex productions.
